I completely respect Mr. Tolkien's feelings and opinion. I've always accepted and understood this. As Elizabeth said, I was talking about the assumption that the films were directed at a very narrow market of young men when the films were first released, and how some still have that opinion.

I can see where my comments could be misunderstood :)

I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
